Abstract :

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of job engagement in the relationship between faculty members' presenteeism and job satisfaction. The statistical population of this research consists of academic faculty members of Azad University of Fars province, whose number is about 1975 people. To select the sample size, a sample of 321 people was selected using the Cochran formula in a stratified random manner. In order to measure presenteeism, Lu et al's questionnaire (2013), Schaufeli et al.'s job engagement (2004), and Minnesota's job satisfaction (2009) were used. The reliability of the questionnaire was examined and confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability and its validity by construct and content validity. Research hypotheses were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. The results of the research indicated that presenteeism has a positive and significant effect on engagement and job satisfaction. Also, job engagement plays a mediating role in the relationship between presenteeism and job satisfaction.
